Mentor coach Matt Gray knew in middle school that Brenan Vernon was head and shoulders above everybody else. “I think the No. 1 thing that jumped out about him was just the sheer physical size,” Gray told 247Sports. “I mean, he was always a foot-plus taller than everybody else. It was always funny to kind of watch him play middle school football because you get those little runts that are playing seventh and eighth-grade football. And then you had Brenan out there. Being able to see him grow and develop, he's had a tough spot just because he's always been that big kid that always gains attention. He's always been in that spotlight. And just being able to see some of the maturation processes is quite intriguing and exciting here over the next several months to be able to see that.” Vernon earned his first college scholarship before he played a down of varsity football. Away from football, Vernon enjoys playing the guitar.
